00:00 I've kind of spent most of my life since I was 11 quite unwell.
00:04 I kind of wanted to advocate for people with a limb difference
00:08 and a stoma.
00:09 If I look at myself three years ago,
00:12 I couldn't even leave the house at points,
00:13 so to now be here, like, running around with you guys,
00:16 is kind of crazy. It's fatal strangers, like. Yeah.
00:19 I really struggled to get my head around the fact
00:23 that I was going to have a stoma.
00:25 I wasn't prepared for it.
00:26 At 18 years old, you kind of want to just
00:29 be out enjoying yourself with your friends,
00:31 not having this life-changing surgery.
00:34 Since my surgery, I've got my life back.
00:36 I realised, you know, I could wear what I wanted,
00:38 I could go out, I could enjoy myself.
00:40 It completely changed my life.
00:41 I've had so much of my life kind of taken away
00:43 and controlled by my illness.
00:45 I want to live and, like, I don't want to, like,
00:48 regret not going travelling.
00:50 What an amazing woman Molly is,
00:52 what she's gone through and stuff like that.
00:53 It's just so good to see her be the confident woman that she is,
00:57 you know, she's just doing what she wants,
00:59 not listening to anyone.
01:01 She is just, like, strong enough on her own.
01:03 I never thought I'd make it this far, like...
01:05 It's crazy. It's such a crazy thing.
01:07 Everyone's done so well.
